Pets at Risk is gearing up for Corn Day with a special promotion. The non-profit organization will sell tennis balls for $5 each. Of all tennis balls purchased, one winner will be drawn for a $250 cash prize at 2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 13 on the Corn Day Stage.

All tennis balls purchased will be entered into the "Fido Fetch." Pets at Risk has secured a "fido" that will jump into the pool of balls and pick the lucky winner. Those donating to the cause do not have to be present to win.

In addition to the "Fido Fetch," Pets at Risk will have a table in downtown Carmi during Corn Day with several items available through a raffle. Items in the raffle include Disney blankets, items donated by Ann Hardy, a basket donated by Kathy Smith, a stuffed bulldog donated by Rhonda's Doll Emporium, gift certificates donated by Yellow Rose and The Courtyard, magnet animals donated by Merle Norman Cosmetics and Boutique and a framed 1975 limited edition sketch of the Saline County Courthouse by Barb Allen, renowned local artist.

The sketch will be displayed in the Old National Bank lobby until Corn Day. Bids on the item will be taken up to Corn Day Saturday, Oct. 13.

For more information about the event or to purchase a tennis ball, contact Susan at 383-6993.

Pets at Risk nonprofit organization is a local group that meets at 5:30 p.m. every third Wednesday of each month at Carmi's Old National Bank Community Room. Everyone is welcome to attend.
